Kim Kardashian defends Twitter cat pic

Kim Kardashian has defended herself over her cat photograph, saying she didn’t harm the kitty by any means.

Peta had criticised Kardashian for holding a cat by the scruff of its neck for her Twitter photo.

A spokesperson said: “Kim Kardashian isn”t the only person who mistakenly thinks that because a mother cat picks up her kittens by the scruff of the neck that a supportive hand under the rump isn”t needed.”

However, the stunner insists she did nothing wrong, reports The Sun.

“I have been getting negative comments regarding the way I was holding the kitty, but rest assured, the owner and vet were on set and showed me how to pick him up.

“The cat was not harmed in any way and is perfectly fine! I love animals and would never do anything to harm any animals,” she said.
